I’ve been looking for a convenient way to play music from my Tungsten T without headphones and this is it. I’ve looked at other portable speakers, but there were too many wires to them. The sound quality is quite good, it won’t fill a room; but for personal listening or a small gathering of friends it works great. It takes three AAA batteries which seem to last quite awhile, I haven’t had to change the batteries yet(it’s been about three weeks since I’ve had it-but I don’t use it continuously). The only thing missing is something to boost the bass, then again it’s not designed to replace a boombox. There is another version with only one speaker built in, but it holds half the CD’s. I only gave 4 stars because of the bass, it’s still great addition to my collection of CD player, PDA, and MP3 player. Now if they could only come up with one with a multi-player connector…

I wasn’t expecting much from such a gimmicky product, but so far it’s really delivered.
*** OK Sound Fidelity
**** Good Volume for size
***** Cool & functional form, integrated into CD case
***** Solid Build Quality
**** Overall, at the price I paid, I give it 4+ stars
It’s easy to overdrive these, but resist the temptation and they’ll sound fine. In fact, they sound WAY BETTER and 3-5 times louder than my laptop’s built-in speakers(which I used to think where OK, but couldn’t play a DVD loud enough for everyone to hear when visiting family at the hospital–a very noisy hospital).
At MSRP, guess I might have to think twice about it… but for ten less(which is what I paid) they’re great!
Speakers have good mids and highs(for the price), doing a nice job w/vocals, most jazz and acoustic tunes, but can’t really hack techno/trance(weak base) and acid/hard rock(muddled guitar distortion) …but then, at this size and price I didn’t expect they would.
TIPS:
- Use sound processors
I never use Trubass and Surround effects, since they do more harm than good, but was surprised to hear they REALLY HELP these little speakers (you’re not gonna hear subtle harmonics in your music w/these speakers anyway, so might as well enjoy what you can).
- Use fresh batteries
Takes 3 AA’s, and plays WELL past when it should stop on weak ones(maybe forever?). When bats get fairly drained the bass breaks up BADLY.
(I’m sure it’s my imagination, but the more I use ‘em the better they sound to me… strange?)
